I couldn't quite remember when I had settled into that dayjob. My spine shivered every time I kneeled and pulled out that napkin, the only thing i could afford to use to clean the boots of those horrible guild members. I swore I'd never take orders like that again, but I needed the money too. I couldn't afford that "protection fee" of theirs, or I might go bankrupt in a moment. But unfortunately that meant going out of the city was a no-no. Getting money to live from monsters wasn't possible, and therefore I had settled for this nerve-wrecking task of cleaning their boots. I hated it, I hated I hated it, why did they treat me so badly, those b*st*rds? They demanded I took out every last spot on those filthy sh*tt* boots (as if they weren't just as filthy, maybe I should pull out their tongue too) but they were so stuck-up they actually thought that I should just be happy they wouldn't make me LICK the boots to clean them! Good thing city combat was not allowed, else I'd have sent them to Cathedral a hundred times by now! Maybe... Not likely... I wasn't THAT strong. Sure, I was high-level, but that day I began to realize it. Fighting in this world, fighting monsters for real, it was NOTHING like fighting behind a screen. I mean, I had always known that, but for some reason it just didn't occur to me right away when we got transported here. Being able to come back to life didn't change the fact we still DIED. And it still hurt. And the monsters still looked quite terrifying. Only a moron would not feel fear at THAT!
Unfortunately, since entering the game I came to realize I was surrounded by said morons.
So now I was gonna get some rest and some food as I was done with the last client for the day. I sighed as I headed to get some bread and water, when I saw Mairi. I immediately felt the urge the spit on the ground. Those damm rich folk, just going around. Of course they could pay the protection fee right away, but it was because of them we were stuck like this now! Because those people with much better gear wouldn't take arms against the tyrant guild, since they just didn't have to. They could just pay and be on their merry way. Not that I could pick a fight with one or anything, but I just couldn't stand around and do NOTHING. Bumping into them would be a good start, I suppose. But wait, would Inuhime do that? Right now I was in her body, and I didn't want to spread any rumors about faking it... so maybe I could just keep acting as Inuhime would. Yet if I did that, how should I deal with the anger? I couldn't take it out on monsters or just relieve stress with a game in here... oh, I know! If Inuhime was a bit clumsy, I might have an excuse.
So I headed in the person's general direction, eyeing the things around me, until I finnally bumped into the person. I fell to the ground (a bit on purpose).
"Ow ow ow... Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you ok? I wasn't paying attention, I should be, I'm so sorry!" I ... apologized.
